A motorcycle GPS can be a great way to travel from point A to point B without any unexpected detours. However, it may not be possible to use a traditional GPS unit on a motorcycle. Fortunately, there are several motorcycle GPS units that can provide an individual with directions with minimal distraction.

In many cases, a motorcycle GPS comes with a bluetooth transceiver. This transceiver can be used to transmit audio directions to a bluetooth headset. Since many motorcycle drivers wear headsets to communicate with their riding buddies, this can be a great way to add voice directions to one's trip for minimal cost. In addition, some motorcycle GPS systems allow people to set up the unit via their voice.
